Smart watches

Always switching between apps? Juggling fitness goals, messages, and reminders from three different places? A smart watch puts it all on your wrist, so you can track more, miss less, and stay in control without the hassle.

At JB, we get it. That’s why we’ve loaded up on the biggest brands in health and fitness wearables. From everyday tracking to serious training, our smart watch range has something for every wrist and every routine.

Today’s smart watch is doing for watches what the smartphone did for mobiles. Big tech and great design mean it can do as much or as little as you want it to. A good smart watch:

• Links to your phone fast, so your calls, texts, and notifications are right there on your wrist. No need to dig through your pocket.
• Runs your favourite apps, from maps to music to messages. Most models even let you launch and control apps straight from your watch face. Yes, even Uber and Spotify!
• Seriously good-looking, whether you prefer classic watch style or full-on sporty vibes. Plus, there are stacks of stylish watch bands, too.
• Takes and makes calls using built-in mics and speakers. No phone? No worries! Some smart watches let you talk hands-free.
• Tracks your health so you can keep tabs on your heart rate, sleep, stress, steps, and more. Some even offer ECGs, SpO₂, and body temp tracking. It’s like having a mini health check 24/7.
• Tells the time, just way smarter.

Definitely. Once you’ve worn one, it’s hard to go back. A smart watch isn’t just packed with features. It’s the kind of tech that fits into your day without you even thinking about it. Missed calls? Not anymore. Left your phone in another room? You’ll still get the alert. Want to track your run without hauling your phone? Done.

From setting timers mid-cook to pinging your phone when it’s lost under the couch, a smart watch keeps life ticking over smoother. Because most of them just keep getting smarter with updates and new apps, you’re getting more bang for your buck every time you wear it.

You’ve got choices, and heaps of them. But the best smart watch depends on what you want it to do. Want fitness tracking? Need something that lasts days on a single charge? After phone-free runs, calls on the go, or just a clean, sharp look? JB’s got stacks of options that do all that and more.

Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest brands you’ll find at JB and why they’re absolute crowd favourites:

• Apple Watch: If you’re an Apple fan, you’ll love the Apple Watch range, especially the latest Apple Watch Series 11. It’s got heaps of different designs for sports or fashion, legendary usability, and perfect syncing.
• Garmin Watch: This brand was one of the smart watch pioneers and also a go-to for serious sports watches, and it shows. Advanced fitness metrics, a big range, heaps of styles and flexible connectivity make it a solid pick for anyone training hard or just staying on track.
• Samsung Galaxy Watch: Another big tech brand that delivers. From the sleek Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic to the Watch Ultra 2025 from the Galaxy Watch Ultra Series, these watches pack serious style and smart control across a heap of apps and features.
• Google Pixel Watch: With the latest Google Pixel Watch 4, you get a smart watch that lasts longer between charges, even with a brighter, better display. It's also packed with AI smarts and has a clean design for fitness and everyday wear.
• Fossil Smartwatches: This smart watch brand looks and feels different. Rugged and classy designs, great value and powered by Google. Plenty of models to choose from.
• Huawei Watch: A smart watch range with long battery lives, wireless charging and smart and sophisticated looks.

Shopping for younger wrists? JB’s got smart watches for kids, too. Think safety features, GPS tracking, easy calling and simple controls all packed into fun, durable designs built for everyday use. Perfect for peace of mind and giving kids a bit of freedom without a full-blown phone!

Sort of, but not completely. Some models can make calls, send texts, stream music, run apps, and even tap to pay, all without your phone nearby. Pretty wild, right? But for big stuff like watching videos, heavy browsing, or smashing out emails, your phone still wins.

Think of it like your smart watch being the perfect sidekick. It keeps you connected, in control, and hands-free when you’re out and about. But your phone? Still the main event (for now!).

Some do. If the smart watch has built-in 4G or LTE, you can leave your phone at home and still make calls, send texts, stream music, and use apps on the go. So while you’ll get the most out of it paired with a phone, a good smart watch can still do plenty on its own.

Smart watches do more than just tell time. They help you stay on top of your health, your fitness, and your life. If you're after something a little more low-key, JB also stocks fitness trackers from big names like Fitbit and WHOOP, plus smart rings that keep your stats ticking without loading up your wrist.

Whatever your setup looks like, JB’s got the gear to match. Shop online or swing by in-store and find the wearable that fits your day.
